Special thanks to everyone who came out to help today. The bus is stopping better than ever before thanks to Rich and Howard.
Ed and Geoff from Delaware stopped by in their awesome Turbo Diesel Vanagon to help out. Thank you Geoff for providing you height, and Ed for helping me with the side windows. Tyler, and Shawn brainstormed through the top installation process, may ups and downs and new discoveries but for the most part it is ready to go.
My two Boston Terriers supervised the whole event.

A million staples had to be removed before putting the new canvas on.

More pictures to come thanks to Tyler's awesome camera! Post what you got guys.
It's my bus, I do what I want to do with it. It's a camping bus, I use it for camping I need the extra space for stuff and ventilation and to be able to put my pants on without getting leg cramps. I don't have money to buy a whole new bus, to throw even more money into getting it road worthy. I don't give a crap it if it's the wrong top. I'm getting stickers made to shut the purists up.

There are lots of buses and vans that are all alike that rolled out of the factory. There's only one like yours thumpup)-

Beat.
Hope you got your parts delivered by the Strapman.
Looks good Buddy. Now you and Shawn are in the same club.. CPYPU... "Camper Pull Your Pants Up"
But even with the Top closed you now have a little extra head room.
BTW I found a few sets of PopTop seals if you want to borrow them till you get yours in..

That would be great, can you run them to Shawn's?

That's a great job. thumpup)-
